Abstract:As destinations absorb even increasing number of visitors, destination managers become progressively more concerned about the longer term viability of tourism from a resident's perspective. However, few studies have examined the application of real time social sustainability within tourism, particularly how to measure impacts on social sustainability. This study outlines the development of a valid and reliable scale -the Scale of Social Sustainability (SSS) -for tourism that provides an assessment of social sustainability in destination settings. A 10-step procedure was developed drawing upon the related literature. A telephone poll-based survey generated 1,839 valid responses from Hong Kong residents. Hong Kong's growing popularity as a destination provides a rich array of host-guest conflict situations. Dimensionality was identified using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Construct validity, reliability, and stability were assessed, and found good, showing that the scale could be used by other destinations worldwide. The theoretical and managerial implications of the scale are discussed, including options for annual surveys giving policy makers alerts before situations worsen.Detailed host resident viewpoints, and the large scale of the survey can help local residents be informed about tourism development and better involved in the policy formation process.

“…In other words, they should consider residents and stakeholders' expectations in their decision making. Further, in an effort to increase the favorableness of residents' attitudes toward tourism, policy makers should run internal marketing and communication activities delivering tailored messages and describing the positive balancing between the positive and negative impacts of tourism (Perdue, Long and Allen, 1990;Brida et al, 2011). In doing this, local institutions should involve also impartial source of information (e.g.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Manuela Pulina University of Sassari and CRENoSAbstract This paper investigates residents' preferences towards cruise tourism investment in their home port. The research uses data collected during the peak cruise season in 2011 at Messina, a port of call in Sicily, Italy. A generalized ordered logit analysis is run to analyse what factors influence the residents' preferences towards investment in cruise tourism. Positive and negative externalities produced by this economic activity, as well as socio-demographic and economic determinants are taken into account. Overall, the resource investment choice of residents in Messina was dependent upon: their income dependency on the cruise activity, their own personal cruise experience, family size, the expected increase in welfare (i.e. increase in public and private investment), whether they are affected by urban and rural gentrification and the value placed on community life style and heritage conservation. Nevertheless, residents would tend to decrease investments in cruise activity if they are female, retired or perceive the environment to be deteriorating. Implications for policy makers are drawn from the empirical findings.Paper submitted to the special issue Tourism Externalities JEL C25; D62; L83 Keywords Cruise port of call; positive and negative externalities; residents' support; generalized ordered logit

Studies done by Perdue et al [27] and Akis et al [28], confirm that local communities gain benefits in terms of the economic aspect and enable them to support the tourism development in their area.

“…Studies by Wall [29] in Bali, Indonesia found that the local community has a positive outlook when they receive benefits from tourism development. Aside from the economic benefits, sociocultural and environmental aspects of the trade-off are also important factors for the development of the community tourism [27]. For example, from the socio-cultural perspective, tourism can develop or increase the demand for cultural products such as handicrafts which maintain traditional ideas and culture [34].In studies by Oviedo-Garcia et al [35] on tourism in Santipoce found that people have a positive view on the high level of tourism that benefits them.…”

Abstract. Community participation in tourism development especially among fisherman and farmers has begun to given serious attention by the government whereby the communities are given opportunities to engage in tourism development programmes in order to enhance their quality of life. In order to encourage local community participation in tourism development in rural areas, participants' perceptions regarding tourism activities are important aspect to be sought. Good or bad perceptions from the community towards tourism development are important because it can determine the success of the programme. Firstly, this paper aims to explore the views or perceptions of seaweed cultivators towards homestay tourism which is based on seaweed cultivation in the District of Semporna, Sabah. Qualitative and quantitative research approaches have been applied in this study, such as the usage of the face to face interviews survey using survey questionnaires and field observation as primary methods. The findings show that the majority of the respondents have a positive perception of homestay tourism based on seaweed cultivation, such as the acceptance of visits by the tourists to their working place. Seaweed cultivators agreed that this tourism activity bring additional income to them. Activities that can become tourist attractions include tying seaweed seeds on a casino table. Moreover, the tourists have an opportunity to take a boat to see the seaweed farm, and take pictures of seaweed activities and so on. These findings also revealed that the majority of the respondents assumed that the visits of the tourists would motivate them to carry out the activity with more enthusiasm. This shows that seaweed cultivation could become a new tourism product which has great potential to develop in the district of Semporna, Sabah.
